Quality: VG/VG- - OSCAR
VG/VG+ - THE HEDONIST


Comments: 8,9 - These two tracks are not listed on the cover!!


The cover states the following about the tracks: Corrosion: Royal Albert Hall,
6/2/72. PB: Stadthalle Offenbach, 26.2.71 CWTA,E: Kralingen Pop Festival
28/6-70. This track was not included on the Kralingen-Sampler of early 70's
fame. IO: Rome, February 1968 AHM: Gemersheim, 21/5/72 OOTD: Germersheim,
21/5/72 Bre/OTR: Boeblingen, 15/11/72, a very rare version which was only
performed a few times. OBC and BD/Eclipse: ????? (Does anyone know??)



Can anyone confirm these dates?



As you might expect soundquality differs, but this is how I rate the tracks:



Cor, PB, CWTA,E: VG AHM, OOTD, Bre/OTR, OBC, BD/Eclipse: VG+



All tracks have been mastered from vinyl, so some hiss and pops occur. Sound is
a little bit thin, but all the versions are GREAT! Maybe I'm hardcore, but I
like this one... - OSCAR



With respect to Bre/OTR: Boeblingen, the length is long enough to make it the
Boeblingen show. As for it being a very rare version that was only performed a
few times, this is off course not completely true, since the On The Run jam has
been performed on every DSOTM set from the beginning of 1972. What is true is
that it (being a jam) could be (slightly) different each night. -GERHARD



All tracks are audience recordings and mastered from vinyl (at one point during
AHM we even get a multiply-repeated passage due to a skip on the source disc!).
The sources given above are as stated on the packaging, and so may be incorrect
in places. Before OOTD Roger berates a section of the crowd who are standing and
obscuring the view of other audience members. - THE HEDONIST



Have you ever noticed that 4 different versions of this CD are circulating? But
don't worry too much: only the colour of the CD is different. And here are the
details:



CD-colour CD-title on group-photo
---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. black yellow
bkgrnd black/white on orange bkgrnd 2. black pink bkgrnd black/white on
lightblue bkgrnd 3. pink blue bkgrnd pink on darkblue bkgrnd 4. pink lilac
bkgrnd pink on yellow bkgrnd



The sound quality is very good, but it sounds as though it were compiled from
various sources on vinyl because there is the occasional pop of a record. - ANON
